Grammar can server as a window into human conceptual structure. Verb constructions are a window into concepts of agency, causality, and intentionality; nouns are a window into concepts of object and substance; prepositions are a window into concepts of space and force; tense and aspect are windows into our concept of time.
Lecture given during The Shalem Center's Psycho-ontology Conference, December, 2011.
Steven Pinker is Harvard College Professor and Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University.
